Pastor's Tantra

The card "Shadow Cloak" has four powerful effects: knockback, removal of negative status, invisibility, and blinding.

Sealed, frozen, burned, bound, and petrified, these five negative states come from the most common restrictive negative states among the five attributes of light, water, fire, wind, and earth.

——Among them, the legal arts such as "arrest" and "shackles" used by legal experts belong to [Binding], while "silence" and "stillness" belong to [Seal].

This card can only remove [Curse], a negative state mainly caused by dark attribute mana, because shadow cannot dispel darkness. This is its biggest flaw.

But even so, it is the most useful fantasy card in the "Moon" card slot. Many cards produced by high-level fantasy monsters may not be as effective as this one.

The "Moon" card originally has a very loose card slot. Basically, the fantasy cards that can be produced tend to be in the secondary fields of control, invisibility, detection, prophecy, madness, and illusion.

In this card slot, the "Shadow Cloak" brought by Shadow Demon is undoubtedly the most commonly used card - unless the BOSS has a special mechanism, or the equipment on his body is specialized in Shadow Demon, so he must bring Shadow Vault, otherwise Scholar of Sins This one is brought by default.

Shadow Cloak can be useful in basically any situation.

Even in most cases, players are more troubled by the question of "Should I hand over the Cloak of Shadows now or keep it in one hand?" rather than "This card is of no use." Because the tactical value is too high, if you fail to judge the timing correctly, you will easily end up in the underworld.

However, in the current environment, Aiwass doesn't think he can gain too strong control. His main enemies now are the Noble Red Order, who are primarily made up of the Beyonder Path. The dark attribute curse "Shadow Cloak" cannot be solved.

Its greatest significance lies in invisibility and the subsequent blinding curse.

The most common invisibility ability comes from adapting to the path, and it is well known that adapting to the path does not cause curses - which means that those who try to sweep Aiwass out have no way of guarding against the blinding curse that follows after the invisibility is lifted.

Invisibility has time, but curses don't. If the curse is not broken or purified, it will be permanent. Even if the curse is broken, it will take time... enough for Aiwass or Lily to complete a sneak attack.

The world is relatively peaceful at present. Extraordinary people basically have no awareness of the need to fight. Extraordinary power is closer to a simple pursuit.

It's not like players roaming the streets equipped with control skills for various situations... Most extraordinary people in this world don't have this kind of "prepared" tactical quality.

Their countermeasures generally only target the most common enemies in the surrounding environment - for example, here in Avalon, because the Dusk Road is very rare, basically no one will prepare anti-petrification countermeasures, and even many extraordinary people have reached the third level. Levels 1 and 4 don’t know that the features of the Dusk Path are undeath and petrification; the Path of Love is even rarer, and it’s rare to see that you can’t buy steel mind potions—charm, fear, Madness, slumber, and madness all belong to the realm of the path of love.

Because of the characteristics of the Path of Love, these states imposed by the Path of Love are not negative states, and cannot be dispelled even by the illumination spell of the Path of Love. It is very difficult to fight without special countermeasures.

What surprised Aiwass was that after he cleaned up his room and even went out to have breakfast... Lily hadn't come to say hello yet.

——Did something happen to her? Could it be that he passed out after reading a tantra book and running out of inspiration?

Aiwass was a little worried, so he immediately pushed the wheelchair over.

"Lily, are you okay? Lily..."

As soon as he pushed open Lily's door, he was startled - her room was filled with dense gray cobwebs.

But the spider webs seemed to be just an illusion... When Aiwass looked intently, they disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Master."

Lily's voice, which had become a little weak and tired, sounded softly, just like the voice of a person who has just woken up from a serious illness: "Do you want me to take a bath for you... Did I get up late? I'm sorry..."

Only then did Aiwass notice that Lily was standing quietly by the corner, wearing the glasses Aiwass gave her.

It was as if she had been standing there from the beginning, but he just didn't notice it at the first time.

It was precisely because of the authoritative path spell "Law: Do Not Look Directly" attached to [Observer in the Shadow] that Aiwass did not notice her existence.

——There is no doubt that she has successfully embarked on the path of adaptation.

She walked over lightly, making no sound at all...like a moth or a spider.

"I'm just here to see if things are going well on your end and if you need my help."

Aiwass closed the door gently.

He glanced over and found the gray tantra book lying quietly beside the pillow.

It has handed over its stored knowledge to the reader. At this moment, it has temporarily lost its mysterious qualities and looks just like an ordinary book.

"What's its name?"

Aiwass asked. It was as if what he was asking about was not a book but a pet.

"The Spider's Silk Tantra." Lily explained.

She briefly relayed the secrets described in the book to Aiwass - what is contained in this book is a special inheritance.

Unlike the "Shepherd's Tantra", what is stored in it is not a lost inheritance, but closer to a "summoning object", or how to use exotic weapons.

——Specifically, "spider silk".

"[Spider Silk] is a special kind of life created by Gray Tiansi. Its essence is a group of phantoms... It is not an individual, but a 'collective'. It has no body and no material entity. Its carrier is 'lie'. It did not sign a contract with me, but completed 'symbiosis' with me... This is also a special way of existence that adapts to the path."

"……lie?"

Aiwass does not understand the concept of symbiosis.

He just murmured in a low voice, thoughtfully: "As expected of Hui Tiansi's creation..."

Gray Tiansi is also one of the nine Tiansi who came in the first round. The field he controls is "lies" - things that are neither black nor white, words that are neither evil nor good.

And Lily also told Aiwass the most important secret in the Spider Silk Tantra without reservation.

"The snake's hair, the cat's footsteps, the moth's cage, the centipede's noose..."

Aiwass recited this metaphor and roughly guessed what it was: "Snakes have no hair, cats have no footsteps, moths have no cages, and centipedes cannot be hanged - these represent four things that do not exist. In fact, above, this should refer to the apostles of the Lord of Scale Feathers, and the eight realms of the Lord of Scale Feathers except for deception.

"Akpolis, the most powerful apostle of the Lord of Scale Feathers, his metaphor is a snake. The snake represents both poison and medicine in adapting to the path.

"Cats represent camouflage and hunting, and are worshiped by 'hunters' who have adapted to the road; moths represent disappearance and change, and are symbols pursued by disguisers and assassins. Centipedes can adapt to various environments and escape from various It is dangerous and crawls into various caves, so it is a symbol of prediction and refuge.

"In addition, the domain of the Lord of Scale Feathers also includes deception. This domain is very close to Hui Tiansi's lies. It is probably for this reason that Gray Tiansi is hostile to the Lord of Scale Feathers..."

Of course, maybe that's not hostility.

——It is also possible that Hui Tiansi actually means "Boss, do you think you are missing an apostle? I seem to be the right one." This is quite adaptable.

Aiwass added in his mind.

"Spider Silk Tantra" tells the sixty-seven secrets about "spider silk", which is a very complete inheritance. Including the four mysterious skills of [Weaving Lies], [Spider Silk Sense], [Spider Silk Sneaking], and [Thread Control], they can already support a profession... However, this inheritance was born before the emergence of the profession, so Lily did not obtain it. His own extraordinary career.

But on the other hand, she can also be said to be the founder of this profession. It can be called "Spider Walker" or "Spider Silk Messenger" or something like that...it's up to her.

At present, Lily can master three of the abilities after only one night.

One is to erase the sound of one's own footsteps, which is "spider silk sneaking"; the other is to sense the "flying insects" that step into the range of one's capture by opening the spider web. You can also conjure a tough and sharp thread as a weapon.

This is the "spider silk" body embodied by Lily, which is composed of Lily's lies.

The stronger the lie, the tougher the thread will be; the sharper the lie, the sharper the thread will be... It cannot be quenched or enchanted, but at the same time it will not hurt you, and it cannot be used. It can be dissipated at any time.

She is still thinking about how to develop this ability.

The dense spider silk that Aiwass saw when he entered the door was not an illusion. Instead, Lily was constantly spinning, studying her newly acquired abilities. When Aiwass came in, she had just figured out how to use the silk. It was just a thought for her, and the spider threads all over the room disappeared in an instant like an hallucination.

She probably wouldn't be an assassin. But fortunately, she still has the ability to sneak... Then the rare equipment Aiwass prepared for her can still be used.

So Aiwass gave [Stalker in the Shadow] to Lily as a celebration of her successful entry into the extraordinary world.

Lily had seen this waist protector before - she noticed it when she helped Aiwass pack up the underwear left by Miss Assassin in his room, and even specially washed it under Aiwass's command. .

But she didn't expect that this was actually the gift Aiwass said he would give to herself...

However, Lily accepted it solemnly and put it on immediately. After all, this is what Aiwass specially emphasized - a very precious thing. After putting it on, she immediately felt that her "spider silk sneaking" ability became smoother.

Before, it was just a joke that Aiwass' wheelchair could drive itself.

But now that Lily is pushing the wheelchair behind Aiwass, it is really difficult to notice that there is someone behind Aiwass. If Lily didn't speak, ordinary people wouldn't notice her existence at all.

With Lily's protection, Aiwass doesn't need to wear an asbestos collar even when he goes out to Lloyd's Circle. Even if someone is preparing to attack Aiwass, Lily can immediately sense the crisis - equivalent to an external hostility reminder and a moving real eye in an invisible state.

This real eye is even quite capable of hitting!

And there is a high probability that he can hit more than Aiwass without equipment... He has two core purple equipment of this profession, and Lily's now fully analyzed one-hit sneak attack may even pose a direct threat to Haina. And her range of perception is much more reliable than Haina's.

This time the personal maid became a personal bodyguard. Aiwass doesn't have to drag someone with him when he wants to go out.

And there are advantages to him taking Lily out - if he encounters danger, he can use the Shadow Demon. This is something you can't do when you go out with Sherlock or Haina.

Because Lily knows about the existence of Shadow Demon and will keep it a secret for Aiwass. As long as Aiwass can clean up the evidence.

Even if he is not a maid or bodyguard, he is undoubtedly very reliable just as a teammate.

With Lily's talent, she might be able to catch up with her first advancement ceremony...

So, this time Aiwass did not call Haina to protect him, but took Lily directly out.

They followed the address given by the old elf housekeeper and headed to Bishop Mathers' home. That is, "Mrs. Mina's Fortune Telling Shop".

Sherlock is recuperating there now, and Aiwass, who has been in the newspaper, must also find a way to explain to Bishop Mathers why he can activate the holy sword sealed in the key...

A lie needs a hundred lies to cover up, and Bishop Mathers can also sense Aiwass' energy level on the path of devotion... Now he is already at the second energy level.

So Aiwass decided not to act directly. There is no need to hide one's talent, or there is no point in hiding it anyway. As soon as the holy sword, which required thirty-three points of mana to be transformed, came out, Bishop Mathers understood everything.

So Aiwass decided to show off first. Not only to Bishop Mathers, but also to Shylock.

"——Yes, I advanced directly that day and succeeded. And next month I will advance to the third level."

Aiwass plans to say so when the time comes.

In this way, Sherlock can probably guess who the "fox" is.

——If both Sherlock and Isabel know that they are the "fox", but at the same time they think that the other party does not know...

So what kind of wonderful reaction will the two of them have during the advancement ceremony?

Aiwass felt that he seemed a little evil.
